Let me lick your wounds, you said
As your sweet venom seeped in
Through my bloodstream, I became addicted
To your delicious mind-bending poison

Trick me into loving you, lonely one
Thought your venom would paralyze me
Gave up on trying, you thought you’d won
But to keep me, you never had it, hon.

Your sweet venom grew bitter with time
Couldn’t keep me in your teeth
Grinding me down and chewing me up
I broke free, battered, bruised, but alive

It’s only a matter of time, now, dear
I know you’ll tweak your recipe
But I won’t be home for dinner, see
I’ve found a new poison sweet as honey

This one’s strong enough to kill me
But in the dying, it makes me stronger
Knowing I won’t need you any longer
A new sweet honey venom paralyzes me

What else do I need?
